The Dahlia Cactus ‘Anja G.J.’ is a stunning, starburst-shaped white cactus dahlia featuring long, spiky, and elegant petals. Reaching about 60–120 cm in height, it grows from a tuberous root (sold as a bulb) and is a favorite for garden beds and cut flower arrangements. [1, 2]
Key Planting & Care Guidelines
- Planting Time: Plant tubers outdoors after the last spring frost once the soil warms up to at least 15 °C (60°F). [1]
- Depth & Spacing: Place the tuber 8 cm deep into the soil with the growth eye facing upward. Space plants 40–50 cm apart to allow for airflow and growth. [1]
- Sun & Soil: Requires full sun (6–8 hours daily) and rich, well-draining soil. [1]
- Watering: Wait to water newly planted tubers until shoots emerge to prevent rot. Once established, water deeply 1-2 times a week. [1, 2]
- Maintenance: Deadhead faded blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and stake the taller stems to protect them from high winds. [1, 2]
